On this edition of WSIU InFocus, we hear from Botanist and avid hiker, Chris Benda who, back in December of 2018, hiked the length of the River To River Trail in southern Illinois.

He started on the east side of the State, near the Ohio River and ended his journey in Grand Tower, on the Mississippi River.
